I'm doing the same, so I feel your pain. :beat:

While walking to work yesterday morning, I saw a sign reading "pedestrian detour."
Now, that seemed unnecessary. Where's the need for anything flashy? Really, these things should just be safe and functional, especially in a busy city. "No frills" suits me just fine, as it should everyone.
I AM DEVASTATED... I missed out on my Whelan piece. SO MAD right now....
Whilst testing an emulator out on my Raspberry Pi, just discovered "The Body" is mentioned in the Gameboy Pokemon games. - such a weird reference...

I have no earthly idea where my checkbook went. Does anyone still write checks? 08-23-2017 11:47 AMIwritecodeMy wife does for a few of our bills. Not sure why because she pays most of them online. But there are certain ones that she writes a check out for and we physically drop it off at the bank or place of business. Water, mortgage, car insurance and car payment.
She's the one that takes care of the bills. If it were me, I'd do it all electronically. :shrug: 08-23-2017 12:08 PMRandall FlaggWrote two today. One to a business that doesn't accept any form of electronic payment (a Luddite). I also write checks for medical visit co-pays. It's easier to look up the check image and who was the patient (me or my wife) than a charge. I probably go through 50 checks a year. 08-23-2017 12:11 PMHONKYTONKSMASH 08-23-2017 12:20 PMRandall FlaggI wrote a check 18 months ago when I bought my new car (I usually buy a new car every 15-20 years and drive it until it dies). The car dealer didn't even blink (or call the bank for a >$30K check).
I also wrote one in June:

All people over 50. 08-23-2017 12:44 PMICry4OyYep! But got rid of my landline about the time I quit using checks and both my cars have manual transmissions. 08-23-2017 12:55 PMIwritecodeMost of that applies to me and I'm not even 40 yet. Except cursive writing. I still write things down with paper and pencil but I have to print it if I want to be able to read it again later. I also have to have a mechanical pencil. Can't stand using regular wooden ones. 08-23-2017 02:25 PMbdwyer19I still use a checkbook that has the address I lived at 10 years ago. I probably average 2 checks a year, so I have at least 10-15 years to go before needing new checks. 08-23-2017 02:27 PMBen Staad
